Comparison between the stock exhaust on a 2017 Mustang GT and the Ford Performance by Borla Touring cat-back exhaust. Complete with SPL meter measurements.
I wish I could have a Mustang. I remember when I was a kid, just walking down the street I heard a thunderous roar. As I turned to look, i saw a Holden Commodore. The sound that came from it trembled my soul. I can still remember it. I seek that sound. It was deep, loud but not messy, and it was so awesome. I have only heard that sound maybe thrice in my lifetime. I wish a mustang could sound like that.
Very Interesting, we have a titanium full exhaust on our GTR, quite loud but on a long trip say 800 miles in a day found the interior drone after an hour just a pain in the neck. Was looking for a system for my 2017 Mustang GT and didn't want to ruin it as was the case with the GTR, my GT runs about 85 DB at 6K interior ( just android meter) Would be very interesting if you ran your GT with an interior meter. You should also explain the the DB # is logarithmic not linear so a very small reading increase is actually quite significant. This is to date the best analysis of the effects of an after market exhaust. Thank you for your work.
Do you really feel this system changed volume after "break in"? I just installed the touring on my GT500 today and actually sounds a little less volume than my stock mufflers
so is this M-5200-M8TC (Touring axlebacks with x-pipe) or M-5200-M8GC (Touring axlebacks with resonator) ? I am guessing the non-resonated one since it's pretty loud and agressive sound that the x-pipe usually makes
The Ford Performance version doesn't have the resonator like the true Borla Touring does.... So not the exactly the same exhaust or sound. I'm looking for the true Borla Touring sound.
no, there is no difference in Ford vs Borla per se Ford sells many Borla versions too Ford Racing M-5200-M8SC is with x-pipe and Sport mufflers (chrome tip) aka Borla Atak Ford Racing M-5200-M8TC is with x-pipe and Touring mufflers (chrome tip) aka Borla S-Type These are Borla Touring mufflers + resonator with integrated H-pipe versions sold by Ford Racing: Ford Racing M-5200-M8GC is the one with resonator that has EC Certificate (chrome single tip) Ford Racing M-5200-M8GB is the one with resonator that has EC Certificate (black single tip) Ford Racing M-5200-M8GBV is the one with resonator that has EC Certificate (black dual tip for GT350) Ford Racing M-5200-M8GCSB is the one with resonator that has EC Certificate (Shelby oval tip) there may be even more versions than this (just what I found when researching what part number to order to replace the Corsa extreme cb I got the car with since the eshop information/images are not always clear/correct) Most of this information is from some german PDF released by Borla for the European Mustang owners so the car in video can be both the Borla Touring or Borla S-type...but considering how agressive it sounds on full revs maybe you are right in that it's not really true "Borla Touring" sound level but Borla S-Type
